Our Theory of Change

Our nation was built and continues to be based on racism.

To undo years of deeply embedded perceptions, beliefs, policies, and systems, it is critical that people understand the root causes and implications of racism and what actions are needed at all levels to undo it and achieve racial equity. The question is how we act individually and collectively to effect that change. To transform our region, we must transform our institutions and public policy; to transform our institutions and public policy, we must first transform ourselves.

"New Detroit's Leadership Series on R.A.C.E. has been such an incredible experience! Each presenter has been so knowledgeable, and each session has been very valuable. Each presenter also brought a unique teaching style and various activities to help us put our learning right to use. I feel more confident in talking about race and will continue to put all of this tremendous learning into practice. This is not only incredibly useful in my work, but also in my personal life as I continue to fight to dismantle white supremacy from all of our systems. Thank you so much, New Detroit!"

Emily Jorgensen, Michigan League for Public Policy
“Building equity is important because it creates spaces for equal opportunity for diverse groups of people. Equity is at the center of a healthy workplace environment. We build equity at CYD by routinely re-evaluating our equity practices, empowering our staff and ACMs, and allocating space for voices to be not only heard, but deeply considered.” 
Kai Page, Impact Manager, City Year Detroit 
“Rebecca has a remarkable gift for facilitating the difficult conversations we need to have and creating a safe space for the healing to take place.  It has been a joy and privilege to experience the grounded presence, wisdom, care, and compassion she brings to these conversations – whether one-on-one, in a small group, or as part of a large international audience on Zoom.  With her extensive background in empathy building, mentoring, and training groups of all sizes, this is the perfect vehicle for Rebecca to share her gifts. Rebecca beckons us to listen, learn and speak from our hearts, to join her on a journey of awakening, reconciliation, and transformation in the divided places we live and love, in our neighborhoods, workspaces, and communities, in our country and our world.  Rebecca’s work is stunning and I give her my highest recommendation!”
